and
of this
Mason County's second thunder
and lighthing storm in four days
--a rarity in this country--paid
special attention to the Bill Brown
home at 2127 Madison street on
Mt. View last mid-week.
Fortunately for the Browns, the
elements chose the only ten
minutes they were out of the house
to toss a lightning bolt which did
considerable damage, some of
which is shown in the adjoining
pictures.
Lightning hit the Brown tele-
vision antenna, followed the lead-
m wire into the house, burned a
strip across the living room floor,
blew up the elevision set, melted
the telephorfe which rested on top
of the set, and burned the spot
on the wall behind the set to
which four-year-old Shelly Brown
points in the adjoining picture.
HER MOTHER, Rea, points to
a spot on the floor burned by the
bolt and her father, Bill stands
on a ladder pointing to the burned
spots on the exterior where the
lightning played its mean little
tricks. At a point about a root be-
low Brown's hand the electrical
jolt followed a long nail through
the wall and knocked oft a piece
of plaster about four inches in
diameter on the living room wall.
The path of the lightning across
the living room floor as it followed
I the television lead-in ran directly
under a davenport on which Mrs.
Brown had been sitting just be-
fore the family drove downtown
I to complete an •errand ten minutes
earlier. They were about a block
away on their return when the
lightning struck and they saw the
smoke it created .
"That's as close as we ever
want to come to lightning," the
Browns agreed.
TIlE STORM ALSO caused
extra work for PUD maintenance
i crews. High voltage pmmary
wires were burned out on 7th
street between Cota and Railroad
and at Park street causing power
outages m the city center and
north rural circuits, while a one-
phase line at llth and Olympic on
Angleside blacked out the south
city circuit, mainly Angleside,
Hiltcrest and southside. Several
transformers suffered blown fuses
and insulators were broken in sew
oral places, according to PUD 3
asistnt manager Jay.Umphen-
our.
Other prinaary wires were dam-
aged on the alley between Rail-
road and Cota street, on Front
street between Railroad and Knee-
land, while transformers were hit
which caused outages in Isabella
and Kamilche valleys. A little
earlier in the evening a trans-
former was hit in the Binghan
Creek area causing an outage at
Matlock.
An aftermath of the storm,
Umphenour said. came this past
Monday night when a big trans-
former at 6th and Cota brow.
The big" Rayonier stack on Hill-
crest took several lightning jolts
during the storm, too.
Telephone company tr0uble-
shoot said the storm caused only
minor troubles on Pacific North-
west. Bell installations in this area.

WSU Scientists
Talk Research
For Yule-Trees
The Washington State Univer-
sity forestry staff is taking a team
approach to helping Christmas
tree farmers solve cultural and
business problems.
Last week at the Colonial House,
Shelton, a crew of WSU forestry
scientists met with a large group
of Christmas tree farmers. Togeth-
er they planned for a research
program to explore some of the in-
dustry's pressing questions.
John Nagle, Pullman, Chairman
of the Department of Forestry,
headed the crew of Washington
State University staffers. He told
local producers that the initial
phase of Christmas tree research
work should be on the ground in
Mason County, before the end of
the current fiscal year.
W. S. LOONEY, L. O. SELJES-
TAD and Buck Armstrong, all of
Shelton arranged the planning
meeting. They brought in Christ-
mas tree farmers from Mason,
Kitsap, Pierce and Thurston Coun-
ties to air their problems before
the WSU scientists.
Glenn Correa, Shelton, Presi--
dent of the Douglas Fir Christmas
Tree Association, moderated the
meeting. Disc u s stag informally
Lhclr concerns. Christ m as tree
farmers brnzht three major re-
search needs to the specialists' at-
tention: Nutrition, seed tree se-
lection and marketing.
In summary, Nagle complimen-
ted the Chrkstmas tree growers
for bringing their research ques-
tions to the attention of Washing-
ton State University in a consoli-
dated manner. "The University
administrators view your research
needs with keen interest", he said.
"We will take the points which
we hav 4iscussed tonight back
to Washington State University.
In keeping with our talents and
budget, we will determine how
best we can help you with your
problems".
BESIDES NAGLE, the other
scientists representing" Washing-
ton State University at the meet-
mg were Richard Dingle, Associ-
ate Professor of Forestry; Richard
BruCe, Forest Economist; Ray-
mond Gilkeson, Assistant Profes-
sor of Forest Soils; C. Gardiner
Shaw, Chairman of the Depart-
ment of Plant Pathology and Jack
Rogers, Forest Pathology, all of
Pullman.
Edward Breakey, Entomologist
and Darrell Turner, Outlying Test
ing Specialist, represented Wash-
ington State University's West-
ern Washington Experiment Sta-
tion located near Puyallup.
